I was just wondering... Has anyone on this forum, or anyone that checks this forum, heard any information pertaining to the C-HR ? It's been a while since anything new has come out I think ?

 

[SiR]

I haven't heard anything but one of the last times we heard/seen something it was with what seems to be a production model C-HR under camo. So my guess is in the coming weeks and months we might be hearing some things and will see an uptrend in news being rolled out.

 

[iRobot]

So by Q3 or around there hopefully we'll see/hear something. I'm just getting really antsy waiting for it I think.

If the release is supposed to be next year, we may not hear anything until the end of Q3 or Q4.

 

[iRobot]

That's pretty depressing.. Would be nice if they gave us little bits of stuff so us forum guys could sit and discuss these things lol, we could always start talking about more off-topic things ?

 

[SiR]

at this rate is isn't much longer from now and anyone who has gone as far as joining this forum and putting in that extra bit of effort to know about the vehicle might not mind waiting. It's a purchase you'll have to live with for at least a few years from date of purchase, better make it right.

 

[iRobot]

That is true... the only reason we put in the effort to be here is because we're highly interested in the vehicle. But there are gonna be a few people that feel this wait has been long enough.

 

[SiR]

for sure everyone is at a different stage with their current vehicle, some needing something very soon and others that can wait well beyond when the iR will release. at the end of the day if waiting is going to be a problem, don't wait. plenty of good options available right now.

 

[iRobot]

That is it. Now the question is... IF you absolutely couldn't wait.. what would be you're next best option ?

 

[SiR]

Wouldn't mind a slightly used Kia Soul since they seem to be doing well. And with a product that has been out for as long as it have, there's that much more confidence in the product.

 

[iRobot]

Definitely. They've shown to be quite reliable vehicles. Don't look too bad either and are reasonably priced

 

[SiR]

Also have to look into parts and maintenance.
For the DIY'er i'm sure there's a lot of DIY guides out there which can save a lot on labor.

 

[iRobot]

I'm sure they can't be that bad. But definitely, being able to do the simpler things like oil changes and brakes are a key thing. Those have to get done a lot more frequently

 

[SiR]

Being able to do it yourself or the ability to pay a good independent shop to do the work is a good way to go. At least then over the long haul you'll have a good vehicle, or just all the things that factor into a positive outcome.

 

[iRobot]

Always indeed. At that point, you know exactly what was done, what was used, and all the little in betweens. That's a very crucial part of owning a vehicle.

 

[SiR]

It is.

Not all shops are upfront about what needs to be done.

But even just being informed enough to know what to check or knowing what needs to be replaced is good enough. That much less of a chance for some tech to play guessing games and changing parts that don't need to be changed.

 

[iRobot]

Oh man there's too many instances of that. Shop techs screwing around the customer and making them pay for things they don't even do because they're uninformed about a vehicle. It's disgusting

Found something new, this actually looks pretty cool. A 360 degree view of the interior from Toyota.

Thanks for sharing ! That's pretty cool.

I do like how the purple is tied into there, I may want to opt for another colour if they offer it though. Either a blue to match the dash trim or a red to just contrast everything

 

[SiR]

Generic colors like blue or red should be doable since a lot of car makers already do that and nothing else which sure says a lot about what's acceptable.
